Create a new variable which count length of duplicate in R - r

I have a data frame,I want to create a variable z,count duplicate of "y variable", if y have 1,1 set z = 2,2, if y have 3,3,3, set z = 3,3,3.
x = c("a","b","c","d","e","a","b","c","d","e","a","b","c")
y = c(1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5)
data <- data.frame(x,y)
data
x y z
1 a 1 2
2 b 1 2
3 c 2 3
4 d 2 3
5 e 2 3
6 a 3 2
7 b 3 2
8 c 4 3
9 d 4 3
10 e 4 3
11 a 5 3
12 b 5 3
13 c 5 3
Thanks for your help.

You can try the rle:
data$z <- with(data, unlist(mapply(rep, rle(y)$lengths, rle(y)$lengths)))
data
x y z
1 a 1 2
2 b 1 2
3 c 2 3
4 d 2 3
5 e 2 3
6 a 3 2
7 b 3 2
8 c 4 3
9 d 4 3
10 e 4 3
11 a 5 3
12 b 5 3
13 c 5 3

If your your variable y is sorted as an increasing sequence as you say, then the following solution will work:
# calculate counts of each level
counts <- table(data$y)
# fill in z
data$z <- counts[match(data$y, names(counts))]
Note, however, that this method will fail if y is not ordered and, since you want to restart the count when a different level occurs. For these purposes, #psidom's solution is more robust to mis-ordered data as rle will reset the count.
This method calculates the total occurrences of a level and then feeds these total counts to the proper location using match.

Here is a quick method using dplyr, and its rather intuitive syntax:
library(dplyr)
left_join(data, data %>%
group_by(y) %>%
summarize(z = n()),
by = "y")
x y z
1 a 1 2
2 b 1 2
3 c 2 3
4 d 2 3
5 e 2 3
6 a 3 2
7 b 3 2
8 c 4 3
9 d 4 3
10 e 4 3
11 a 5 3
12 b 5 3
13 c 5 3

We can do this easily with data.table
library(data.table)
setDT(data)[, z := .N , rleid(y)]
data
# x y z
# 1: a 1 2
# 2: b 1 2
# 3: c 2 3
# 4: d 2 3
# 5: e 2 3
# 6: a 3 2
# 7: b 3 2
# 8: c 4 3
# 9: d 4 3
#10: e 4 3
#11: a 5 3
#12: b 5 3
#13: c 5 3
Or using rle from base R without any loops
inverse.rle(within.list(rle(data$y), values <- lengths))
#[1] 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3
Or another base R method with ave
with(data, ave(y, cumsum(c(TRUE, y[-1]!= y[-length(y)])), FUN=length))
#[1] 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3

Assign unique non-repeated ID to nested groups with the same values in R

I have run across similar questions, but have not been able to find an answer for my specific needs.
I have a data set with a nested group design and I need to include a unique non-repeating ID to nested groups that can have identical values. While I regularly conduct this type of data wrangling, both the structure of this data set as well as the required outcome are beyond my skillset at this time.
Below I have provided an example data set (df) and what the results should look like.
I used the below code in my actual data set, but realized that it fails under certain circumstances...which are exaggerated in the example data set provided here. I prefer the ID to be sequentially numbered.
df$ID = cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(df$LENGTH) != 0))
I am open to all options (e.g., library(data.table), library(boot), etc) as it would be great if others find this post useful. However, I prefer solutions that do not require the installation and loading of additional packages.
Thanks in advance for you help.
Take care.
df <- read.table(text = "GROUP REGION TIME LENGTH
a x 1 3
a x 2 3
a x 3 3
a y 4 3
a y 5 3
a y 6 3
a z 7 2
a z 8 2
b z 1 2
b z 2 2
b x 3 2
b x 4 2
c x 1 2
c x 2 2
c y 3 2
c y 4 2
c x 5 2
c x 6 2
c z 7 1", header = TRUE)
result <- read.table(text = "GROUP REGION TIME LENGTH ID
a x 1 3 1
a x 2 3 1
a x 3 3 1
a y 4 3 2
a y 5 3 2

a z 7 2 3
a z 8 2 3

b z 2 2 4
b x 3 2 5
b x 4 2 5
c x 1 2 6
c x 2 2 6
c y 3 2 7
c y 4 2 7
c x 5 2 8
c x 6 2 8
c z 7 1 9", header = TRUE)
Paste GROUP and REGION columns and use rle to create a sequential ID column.
transform(df,ID = with(rle(paste(GROUP, REGION)),rep(seq_along(values),lengths)))
In data.table we can use rleid.
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[, ID := rleid(GROUP, REGION)]
# GROUP REGION TIME LENGTH ID
# 1: a x 1 3 1
# 2: a x 2 3 1
# 3: a x 3 3 1
# 4: a y 4 3 2
# 5: a y 5 3 2
# 6: a y 6 3 2
# 7: a z 7 2 3
# 8: a z 8 2 3
# 9: b z 1 2 4
#10: b z 2 2 4
#11: b x 3 2 5
#12: b x 4 2 5
#13: c x 1 2 6
#14: c x 2 2 6
#15: c y 3 2 7
#16: c y 4 2 7
#17: c x 5 2 8
#18: c x 6 2 8
#19: c z 7 1 9
Another base R option, but without rle
transform(
df,
ID = cumsum(c(1, (s <- paste0(GROUP, REGION))[-1] != head(s, -1)))
)
gives
GROUP REGION TIME LENGTH ID
1 a x 1 3 1
2 a x 2 3 1
3 a x 3 3 1
4 a y 4 3 2
5 a y 5 3 2
6 a y 6 3 2
7 a z 7 2 3
8 a z 8 2 3
9 b z 1 2 4
10 b z 2 2 4
11 b x 3 2 5
12 b x 4 2 5
13 c x 1 2 6
14 c x 2 2 6
15 c y 3 2 7
16 c y 4 2 7
17 c x 5 2 8
18 c x 6 2 8
19 c z 7 1 9
With dplyr
library(dplyr)
library(data.table)
df %>%
mutate(ID = rleid(GROUP, REGION))

How to add value into new column based on corresponding value in another column?

This is the sample data with 'y' being the new variable created.
x
A
B
C
y
A
1

C
3
5
3
If the value of column x ="A", I would like the value of col.A to be displayed in column y. And similarly for the "B" & "C" values in column x.
Final result should be something like this.
x
A
B
C
y
A

A proposition :
df <- read.table(header=TRUE, text="
x A B C
A 1 4 7

C 3 5 3
"
)
df$y <- paste0("df$",df$x,"[df$x=='",df$x,"']")
df

Regards,
Try this:
create_column<-function(){
y<-numeric(nrow(your_dataframe))
for (i in 1:nrow(your_dataframe)){
y[i]<-your_dataframe[i, which(names(your_dataframe)==your_dataframe$x[i])]
}
cbind(your_dataframe, y)
}
create_column()
x A B C y
1 A 1 4 7 1
2 B 5 6 7 6
3 C 3 5 3 3
>
another option with apply:
cbind(your_dataframe, y=apply(your_dataframe, 1, function(x){
x[which(names(x)==x['x'])]
}))
> your_dataframe
x A B C y
1 A 1 4 7 1
2 B 5 6 7 6
3 C 3 5 3 3
Try this
df$y <- df[-1][cbind(seq(nrow(df)),match(df$x,names(df)[-1]))]

Selecting top N rows for each group based on value in column

I have dataframe like below :-
x<-c(3,2,1,8,7,11,10,9,7,5,4)
y<-c("a","a","a", "b","b","c","c","c","c","c","c")
z<-c(2,2,2,1,1,3,3,3,3,3,3)
df<-data.frame(x,y,z)
df
x y z
1 3 a 2
2 2 a 2
3 1 a 2
4 8 b 1
5 7 b 1
6 11 c 3
7 10 c 3
8 9 c 3
9 7 c 3
10 5 c 3
11 4 c 3
I want to select top n row for each group by column y where n is provided in column z.
So the output should be like :
output:
x y z
1 3 a 2
2 2 a 2
3 8 b 1
4 11 c 3
5 10 c 3
6 9 c 3
A solution with base R:
# df is split according to y, then we keep only the top "z" value (after ordering x)
# and rbind everything back together:
do.call(rbind,
lapply(split(df, df$y),
function(df1) df1[order(df1$x, decreasing=TRUE), ][1:unique(df1$z), ]))
# x y z
#a.1 3 a 2
#a.2 2 a 2
#b 8 b 1
#c.6 11 c 3
#c.7 10 c 3
#c.8 9 c 3
EDIT:
A much more direct way (still in base R) provided in comment by #mt1022:
df[ave(1:nrow(df), df$y, FUN = seq_along) <= df$z, ]
# x y z
#1 3 a 2
#2 2 a 2
#4 8 b 1
#6 11 c 3
#7 10 c 3
#8 9 c 3
One approach with data.table:
library(data.table)
setDT(df)
df[,.(inc=seq_len(.N)<=z,x,z),by=.(y)][inc==T ,-2]
# y x z
#1: a 3 2
#2: a 2 2
#3: b 8 1
#4: c 11 3
#5: c 10 3
#6: c 9 3
A solution with dplyr that uses do:
df %>%
group_by(y) %>%
do(head(.,as.numeric(unique(.$z))))
I'm posting the solution I was looking for using dplyr. It is based on #HNSKD:
library(dplyr)
x<-c(3,2,1,8,7,11,10,9,7,5,4)
y<-c("a","a","a", "b","b","c","c","c","c","c","c")
z<-c(2,2,2,1,1,3,3,3,3,3,3)
df<-data.frame(x,y,z)
df %>% group_by(y) %>% slice(1:2)
Which returns the first two elements for each y:
# A tibble: 6 x 3
# Groups: y [3]
x y z
<dbl> <fct> <dbl>
1 3 a 2
2 2 a 2
3 8 b 1
4 7 b 1
5 11 c 3
6 10 c 3

R Subset matching contiguous blocks

I have a dataframe.
dat <- data.frame(k=c("A","A","B","B","B","A","A","A"),
a=c(4,2,4,7,5,8,3,2),b=c(2,5,3,5,8,4,5,8),
stringsAsFactors = F)
k a b
1 A 4 2
2 A 2 5
3 B 4 3
4 B 7 5
5 B 5 8
6 A 8 4
7 A 3 5
8 A 2 8
I would like to subset contiguous blocks based on variable k. This would be a standard approach.
#using rle rather than levels
kval <- rle(dat$k)$values
for(i in 1:length(kval))
{
subdf <- subset(dat,dat$k==kval[i])
print(subdf)
#do something with subdf
}
k a b
1 A 4 2
2 A 2 5
6 A 8 4
7 A 3 5
8 A 2 8
k a b
3 B 4 3
4 B 7 5
5 B 5 8
k a b
1 A 4 2
2 A 2 5
6 A 8 4
7 A 3 5
8 A 2 8
So the subsetting above obviously does not work the way I intended. Any elegant way to get these results?
k a b
1 A 4 2
2 A 2 5
k a b
1 B 4 3
2 B 7 5
3 B 5 8
k a b
1 A 8 4
2 A 3 5
3 A 2 8
We can use rleid from data.table to create a grouping variable
library(data.table)
setDT(dat)[, grp := rleid(k)]
dat
# k a b grp
#1: A 4 2 1
#2: A 2 5 1
#3: B 4 3 2
#4: B 7 5 2
#5: B 5 8 2
#6: A 8 4 3
#7: A 3 5 3
#8: A 2 8 3
We can group by 'grp' and do all the operations within the 'grp' using standard data.table methods.
Here is a base R option to create 'grp'
dat$grp <- with(dat, cumsum(c(TRUE, k[-1]!= k[-length(k)])))

How to drop factors that have fewer than n members

Is there a way to drop factors that have fewer than N rows, like N = 5, from a data table?
Data:
DT = data.table(x=rep(c("a","b","c"),each=6), y=c(1,3,6), v=1:9,
id=c(1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4))
Goal: remove rows when the number of id is less than 5. The variable "id" is the grouping variable, and the groups to delete when the number of rows in a group is less than 5. In DT, need to determine which groups have less than 5 members, (groups "1" and "4") and then remove those rows.
1: a 3 5 2
2: b 6 6 2
3: b 1 7 2
4: b 3 8 2
5: b 6 9 2
6: b 1 1 3
7: c 3 2 3
8: c 6 3 3
9: c 1 4 3
10: c 3 5 3
11: c 6 6 3
Here's an approach....
Get the length of the factors, and the factors to keep
nFactors<-tapply(DT$id,DT$id,length)
keepFactors <- nFactors >= 5
Then identify the ids to keep, and keep those rows. This generates the desired results, but is there a better way?
idsToKeep <- as.numeric(names(keepFactors[which(keepFactors)]))
DT[DT$id %in% idsToKeep,]
Since you begin with a data.table, this first part uses data.table syntax.
EDIT: Thanks to Arun (comment) for helping me improve this data table answer
DT[DT[, .(I=.I[.N>=5L]), by=id]$I]
# x y v id
# 1: a 3 5 2
# 2: a 6 6 2
# 3: b 1 7 2
# 4: b 3 8 2
# 5: b 6 9 2
# 6: b 1 1 3
# 7: b 3 2 3
# 8: b 6 3 3
# 9: c 1 4 3
# 10: c 3 5 3
# 11: c 6 6 3
In base R you could use
df <- data.frame(DT)
tab <- table(df$id)
df[df$id %in% names(tab[tab >= 5]), ]
# x y v id
# 5 a 3 5 2
# 6 a 6 6 2
# 7 b 1 7 2
# 8 b 3 8 2
# 9 b 6 9 2
# 10 b 1 1 3
# 11 b 3 2 3
# 12 b 6 3 3
# 13 c 1 4 3
# 14 c 3 5 3
# 15 c 6 6 3
If using a data.table is not necessary, you can use dplyr:
library(dplyr)
data.frame(DT) %>%
group_by(id) %>%
filter(n() >= 5)
